Does Anonymity Affect the Willingness To Accept and Willingness To Pay Gap?
Conventional value-elicitation experiments often find subjects provide higher valuations for items they posses than for identical items they may acquire. Plott and Zeiler (2005) find no difference in elicited valuations after implementing procedures that provide for anonymity and experience with the second-price mechanism. This paper investigates whether anonymity is a necessary for their resul...
متن کامل1 Information and the Divergence between Willingness - to - Accept and Willingness - to - Pay
There is considerable empirical and experimental evidence that there is a divergence between willingness-to-accept compensation to give up a good and willingness-to-pay to obtain a good. This divergence persists even when the good in question in small relative to income, a result in apparent conflict with standard economic theory. This paper develops a theoretical bidding model with costly info...
متن کاملA Dynamic Explanation of the Willingness to Pay and Willingness to Accept Disparity
Recent evidence from laboratory experiments suggests that important disparities exist between willingness to pay (WTP) and compensation demanded for the same good. Because a fundamental postulate in neoclassical theory is that with small income effects and many available substitutes, the willingness to accept (WTA) and WTP measures of value for a commodity should be roughly equivalent, this fin...
متن کاملPreference reversals and disparities between willingness to pay and willingness to accept in repeated markets
Previous studies suggest that two otherwise robust ‘anomalies’ – preference reversals and disparities between buying and selling valuations – are eroded when respondents participate in repeated markets. We report an experiment which investigates whether this is true when factors neglected in previous studies are controlled, and which distinguishes between anomalies revealed in the behaviour of ...
متن کاملTheoretical Demonstration of the Willingness to Pay ( WTP ) – Willingness to Accept ( WTA ) Gap Using Multiple Reference Points
The WTP-WTA gap refers to the often observed difference between the price an individual states he is willing to sell an item (WTA), and the price he states he is willing to pay for the same item (WTP). A common explanation for the gap is the so-called endowment effect, first proposed by Thaler (1980). In the literature the endowment effect is explained very simply by appealing to the concept of...
